Play the Game for Open Journalism is an information and communication technology (ICT)-based endeavour to support reporters in their quest to communicate openly with the public. The Play the Game for Open Journalism website offers a variety of types of information to journalists. For example, various reporters' guides available here - such as those produced by the Foreign Correspondents Club of China (FCCC) and Human Rights Watch - are designed to provide practical guidance, inform journalists of their rights, provide tips for countering internet censorship, and so on. This website also offers links to online resources designed for journalists interested in particular human rights issues raised by sporting "mega-events" like the Olympics, such as the violation of housing rights that residents in event sites may experience (e.g., through forced evictions), the increase in demands for prostitution and other forms of exploitation that may be stimulated, and the privacy concerns raised by new surveillance technologies meant for security purposes.

This initiative is also interactive. Online fora intend to initiate discussion, debate, and dialogue on the role of the media in China during and after the Beijing Olympics 2008. And the project's telephone helpline (available by contacting Ida Relsted Kærup at 8615010751408 through August 24 2008) provides emergency assistance to journalists who find themselves facing pressure from the authorities because of their work. Also, journalists with news of media rights violations were invited to contact the IFJ's Beijing media rights monitor (Serenade Woo at 86 150 108 48490).
